Sharing its title with a children's book, an '84 Wynton Marsalis album, and an early '90s band, Hothouse Flowers beautifies advertisements and animation stills with freshly cut flora. Ohio transpant Ian O'Phelan brings biota-based art to Ghettogloss with his series of hand-drawn works and collages in which strange flora emerge from arcane images, illustrating new growth and heralding a creative spring. O'Phelan's works comment on the freewheeling, organic nature of artistic inspiration in an era of mechanized, computer-based imagery.
